Under which control are units not allowed to be broken up?

• A. ADCON
• B. OPCON
• C. Operational Control
• D. TACON

Answer: (D)

Under TACON, the commanding authority can direct the use of forces for a specific mission, but does not gain the authority to reorganize or split the unit into smaller elements for other tasks. This preserves unit integrity and ensures coordinated action for the assigned operation. OPCON or its equivalent would allow broader reorganization or attachment/detachment of forces as needed for operations, while ADCON handles administrative control and is not about mission tasking. So keeping the unit intact for the duration of the mission is a hallmark of TACON, making it the correct choice.
